OR/14/066 Modelled volume, purpose and scale

Arkley, S L B, and Callaghan, E A. 2014. Model metadata report for the Culloden-Nairn GSI3D superficial deposits model. British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/14/066.

The Culloden-Nairn GSI3D model was constructed to represent the superficial deposits geology of the area highlighted in Figure 1. The modelled area is outlined in red and the area is approximately 35 km from the north-east corner to the south-west corner. This model has been constructed for use at 1:50 000 scale and extends to a maximum depth of approximately -1000 m OD.

The eastern edge of the model shares a boundary with the Forres superficial deposits model, (Arkley, Finlayson and Callaghan, 2014) and attempts to join both models into one have been made, Appendix 2, but the Forres model requires updates to be made to the files used in GSI3D. The western edge will join the Beauly-Inverness superficial deposits model once it has been completed.
